The opening impression with that rules the old man puts forward is seriously on of the most engaging way to dwell the audience into the scene, that rough heavy voice, that spoiled half burnt cigarette smoke is one genius way to imitate an impression going on between 2 people in a banal American restraunt. Excellent.

Yeah, the dialogue between the married couple is a bit overdramatic. Like the whole time I’m listening to the guy, I’m like, “Jesus Christ, guy, you’re friggin relentless.” The dialogue between Phillip Baker Hall and Kirk Baltz is great, and their performances only enhance it. Same with Ferrer’s character. There’s certainly a debt to Mamet in there, but it’s good writing nonetheless. Originally, I thought that the strict ritual of waiting for the coffee and cigarettes before talking was a bit too much, and was really just a way of showing off some cool dialogue. But now I think it’s a great way of showing the older character’s mindset. His whole life, he has placed faith in the discipline of this ritual, and developed the confidence to mentor this young man. The irony, of course, is that at the end, the ritual of coffee and cigarettes did absolutely nothing to “make it right.”

Paul Thomas Anderson in my opinion is one of the best film makers out there, it's a big claim yes, but I look for the simple things, like Cigarettes & Coffee, it's original and normal at the same time. The writing is what I think gets me the most, and I love the detail that he puts into the little things. Vigo and Svankmajer are great, and I understand if their kind of stuff is your cup of tea and I respect that, they have good quality. :)

You don't know what you're talking about. PT met Philip Baker Hall when he was a PA on a set. Almost anybody can get a PA gig - they are low pay, grunt work positions. Hall was impressed with Anderson and read the script for this and wanted to be involved. Simple as that. This story is covered in PBH's Random Roles interview on The Onion's AV Club site.

Ok people. Lets play spot the Tarantino reference! 1. This was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, who is friends with Quentin Tarantino. 2. The main character of "Douglas" is played by Kirk Baltz, who starred as Marvin Nash, the cop who got his ear cut off in "Reservoir Dogs" 3. At the end of this Bill lifts up the car trunk to see Stevie. A year earlier in "Reservoir Dogs", Tarantino invented the camera angle which was used which is known as a "trunk shot". Its taken from the point of view of the car trunk looking at the person lifting it at a low angle. 4. Wierdly enough, Kirk Baltz' "Reservoir Dogs" character is first seen in a car trunk being opened by Mr Blond. (This scene also used the trunk shot. Watch the scene from "Dogs" & this & u will see that its in perfect sync.Guy walking out to car, looks around, then opens trunk & we see a trunk shot, then a close up of the eyes of the victim in the car.) 5. Both this & "Pulp Fiction" & "Reservoir Dogs" have pivotal scenes (with brilliant dialouge) taking place in a diner. 6. NON LINEAR- FLASHBACKS 7. Suits & sunglasses. :)
@ibSprintin

Yeah and if you go back even further, Tarantino took his cue from the esteemed Japanese classic Lady Snowblood from 1973 (A film I highly recommend btw). Which the shot in there isn't from a trunk, but the perspective of the characters + framing is nearly identical.

Same. Just watched it again on my Roku. Looked up the film on Wikipedia to see if maybe I'd missed the reason Sydney killed John's father and noticed hard 8 was based on this short. There's also an early version if Boogie Nights Anderson made as a high school kid. Edited with 2 VCRs, very DIY. Boogie Nights us still one of my favorite films ever. Damn though, he crushed it with his first two films, Hard 8 then Boogie Nights. His 2 best, IMO, among an impressive group of great films he's made. I still wonder how he managed to get such an unbelievably great cast in his first real outing. Hard 8 was filled with great performances from great actors. It's one if those movies that I love sending anyone that had it seen it to watch. I'm amazed it hasn't found a much larger audience. It's one of my number one films I'd love to see on the big screen. Just about as perfect as a film can be and, as always IMO, ranks among the greatest gritty noir crime films ever. And, absolutely one of the most under watched compared to it's quality films ever.
